is my tank overcrowded?

Post by Hermitsandplants » Wed Apr 02, 2025 9:47 am

I currently have five hermit crabs in a 30 gallon tank, three smalls, and two mediums. I have 6" of substrate and the tank is a cube(ish, its a bit shorter) I know I should not get more crabs for my current tank, but was wondering if I should put two in my empty ten gallon tank I have if my tank is too overcrowded.
